Missed the Udhiyah Deadline: What If You Slaughter After the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah?
Question to Shaykh Ibn Baaz:
A woman who is financially able got preoccupied and did not intend to offer the Udhiyah (sacrificial animal) until the 15th day of Dhul-Hijjah, and then she slaughtered it. Does it count as an Udhiyah or not?
Shaykh Ibn Baaz Answer:
The mentioned slaughter does not count as an Udhiyah, because the time for offering the Udhiyah ends with sunset on the 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah. However, it is considered a charitable act — she may eat from it, give some of it to the poor, and gift some to her neighbors and relatives as she wishes. And Allah is the Granter of success.
This answer was issued by the office of His Eminence.
(Majmūʿ Fatāwā wa-Maqālāt ash-Shaykh Ibn Bāz, 18/39).
